Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for magnetoresistive random access memory. A plurality of read lines are in a read line layer, and a plurality of write lines are in a write line layer. A plurality of spin accumulation lines are in a spin accumulation line layer disposed between a read line layer and a write line layer. Spin accumulation lines may horizontally cross read lines and write lines. A plurality of vertical magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cells may include polarizers and magnetic tunnel junctions. A vertical MRAM cell may include a polarizer coupled between a spin accumulation line and a write line. A vertical MRAM cell may further include a magnetic tunnel junction coupled between a spin accumulation line and a read line, such that the magnetic tunnel junction and the polarizer are vertically aligned.
